Bhathiya, Think of Sling as an HTTP interface to the underlying JCR store (jackrabbit). It is possible to manipulate nodes inside the JCR outside of the HTTP request cycle (outside of servlets). At that point you're just coding OSGi classes.
Sling runs in an OSGi container so you'd most likely make use of the lifecycle hooks provided by the OSGi spec. Here's an introduction to OSGi. http://www.osgi.org/Technology/HowOSGi And this presentation has some good information on manipulating nodes. http://www.slideshare.net/jukka/introduction-to-jcr-and-apache-jackrabbi-presentation I hope that helps.
